Flowers are a gift of loveand if your heart is true-Gather not roses, ruby redtied in ribbons of blue.But to prove your faithfulnessand love forever more-Bring me lilacs- bouquets of lilacs-gather lilacs at my door.For dearer than candy or jewelry or wine-In life, my treasure is this:Bring me lilacs- bouquets of lilacs-Just lilacs and a kiss.And should I someday pass from earth-Upon my grave, I request no stone-Just a lilac- a beautiful lilacthat will be mine alone.Just a lilac-a beautiful lilacbefore I travel home.
